    Sunderland are now assured of a play-off spot and a win over Swansea would guarantee them at least a fourth-placed finish

    Swansea go into the game on the back of a three-match unbeaten run.

    • After their 3-2 win in December, Sunderland are looking to record their first league double over Swansea City since 1963-64.

    • Swansea have won each of their past three away league games at Sunderland, this after only winning two of their first 14 beforehand (D5 L7).

    • Sunderland have earned 43 points in 20 Championship home games this season, their most from their opening 20 home matches of a season in one of England's top two tiers since 2004-05 (46).

    • Swansea have only won one of their past nine away league outings (D2 L6), a 1-0 victory at Bristol City in February.

    • Sunderland have kept a clean sheet in each of their past three league games, last keeping four in a row in the Championship in February 2007.

  2. Pick of the stats: Cardiff City v Stoke Citypublished at 10:08 11 April

    There have probably not been many bigger meetings between Cardiff City and Stoke City.

    A victory for the Welsh side could condemn the Potters to a place in the relegation zone, but Stoke also have the chance to put some breathing space between themselves and the bottom three.

    • Cardiff are unbeaten across their past nine league games against Stoke (W3 D6), winning this fixture 2-1 at home last season.

    • Stoke have failed to win any of their past six away league games against Cardiff (D3 L3) since a 1-0 victory in August 2007.

    • Each of Cardiff's past three league games have been draws (1-1 v Sheffield Wednesday, 0-0 v QPR, 2-2 v Preston); the Bluebirds last drew four successive league games in December 2022, a run which included a 2-2 draw with Stoke.

    • Stoke have managed to win just one of their past 13 away league matches (D4 L8), a 2-1 victory at Hull in February.

    • Stoke's Lewis Baker has scored seven goals in the Championship this season; only in 2021-22 has he netted more in a single league campaign (8). Baker has five goals in his past eight league appearances, as many as his previous 52 beforehand.
